<h2 style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 0px;">WEBINAR: Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability (CCWG-Accountability): Presentation on the Draft Report for Public Comment</h2>
<p>4 May 2015</p>
<p>The Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability was established to initiate a related process to the IANA Stewardship Transition process to ensure that ICANN's accountability and transparency commitments to the global Internet community
are maintained and enhanced in the absence of its historical contractual relationship with the U.S. Government.</p>
<p>This report for public comment represents the current work product of the CCWG-Accountability. It is focused on draft Work Stream 1 recommendations (Work Stream 1 is the CCWG-Accountability's work on changes to ICANN's accountability arrangements which must
be in place, or committed to, prior to the IANA Stewardship transition), which were the focus of the first five months of work (from December 2014 until May 2015). These recommendations are not presented as the consensus of the CCWG-Accountability at this
point. The CCWG-Accountability is seeking confirmation of its approach and guidance upon several options.</p>
<p>The CCWG-Accountability will hold two identical webinars at different times to facilitate participation across time zones. The webinars will take place on:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>11 May from 11:00 – 12:30 UTC </strong>(time zone converter <a href="http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=CCWG-Accountability+Webinar&iso=20150511T11&p1=1440&ah=1&am=30">
